How to create a partition (Vista)

[TheMinitool]

With the MiniTool partition manager wizard, it is easy for you to delete partition, copy partition , create partition and other operations. Some editions are FREEEEE. Any of you who need it can have a try.

[man1234567893232]

why does it take so long?? (or maybe its not even working). I tried to shrink my c drive just 1 gigabite and i waited a few hours then gave up and let it run overnight. In the morning it was still going! i ended up closing the window and restarting the computer and the partitions and everything were fine. But still, i want to shrink my c drive and i cant do it!

How Comes I Can Only Shrink By Like 64Mb? How Do I Make It More

[brilliantfranz]

same problem here;

did u manage to solve tat ?

[fromindia2008]

Thanks!

[Nyohttekotte]

it will already be named designated with a letter. there is no "right filetype" for a partition. a partition is just a segment in your hard drive to seperate your files with. for instance installing two operating sytems would need two partitions.

[RyanA1000000]

If i make a partition and put programs and then format my pc will all the programs in the partitions get deleted?

[Nyohttekotte]

Only if you format the partition with the programs.

When you format, just format the other partition and leave the one you want alone.

[MajorLeagueHacker]

If you delete you newly created partition, will all the memory go back to your old/original partition? BTW good vid I rated 5 stars =)

[Nyohttekotte]

Yes it will, you basically make seperated segments on a hard drive. Think of it as sepearting a fish tank with a divider. If you remove divider, it goes back to normal :)

[MajorLeagueHacker]

thanks

[cogar48]

Whenever I do it the computer management thing stops responding and it never works.

[TheChrisFrom1993]

Good vid + are you from Yorkshire?

[xxbox6191]

hey man I installed windows xp on partition 1 C:drive and vista Paritition 2 D: drive ok but now my vista loads up first and theres no boot menu showed up, when restarting my computer, please any help, thanks!

[Dinnerz2k7]

right, im pretty sure the program is called easyBCD, download that and they'll be some documentation elsewhere on the net about how to sort it out.

Its to do with boot files of something or other.

[gre34t1]

Hmm, I tried creating a partition by doing this. After I typed my amount and clicked shrink a error appeared saying Access Denied. The title of the window was Logical Disk Manager

[Dinnerz2k7]

never heard of that appearing so sorry i cant help :/

[xxdeano87xx]

Lost prophets - Ride

Nice ringtone haha!

I plan to switch vista to XP, is this difficult? I Already have my drivers i need =]

[RossPattullo]

No it's not hard but if DUAL BOOTING you have to use Easy BCD to be able to get back into Vista.

[xxdeano87xx]

Ah cheers mate!!

Im adjusting slowly to vista, and ive heard from multiple sources that vista may be better than XP with the specs i have.

Parently if you have less than 2GB ram, vista is poo! Tho i have 4 =]

[RossPattullo]

My first Laptop had 512MB and it was REALLY slow; it was running Vista Home Basic.

My new Laptop has 4GB and is running Home Premium and is good☺

[Techsavy211]

Keep XP faster and better

[Dinnerz2k7]

Generally i agree, but if your system is powerful enough to handle Vista then i don't see the problem.

But anyways, Windows 7 is the way forward :P

[Techsavy211]

Usually D has like 10GB. Vista will fill that pretty much >_>

[Naydo8209]

Thanks mate
